Ceramic abutments are nowadays very popular in this regard. The purpose of this study was tocompare the fracture resistance of three zirconia abutments with titanium abutment.Materials and Methods: Four groups of abutments 4 recorded for each specimen. The data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA.Results: The mean values recorded for fracture resistance of different zirconia abutments varied between 426 to688 N; however, there was no significant differences among the groups %K Implant %K Abutment %K Zirconia %U http://journals.tums.ac.ir/PdfMed.aspx?pdf_med=/upload_files/pdf/22479.pdf&manuscript_id=22479
